Chapter 311 (2): Eye of Judgment
Auston glanced at the two Francan mages coldly. Alnwick stopped in his tracks, while Charlee continued forward and indicated that they meant no harm.
Auston rolled his eyes. Everyone had their flaws, especially Francans and Wayne.
Just as he was thinking, Charlee suddenly deployed her vitality field, the magnificent world enveloping Auston, Silvia, and Filomina.
Filomina sprang to action, about to counter the attack with her own vitality field. Silvia slowly raised her hand to stop her, turning to Auston. “What, are you going to let your daughter-in-law handle this?”
Auston frowned. He didn’t understand where Silvia’s goodwill for Filomina came from. If he made a move now, he would expose himself as the Darkness Knight. Was that really okay?
But he couldn’t ignore his wife’s words. Since Silvia had accepted Filomina, he wouldn’t object. He splayed his fingers and conjured a patch of darkness, washing everything around them white. In the expanse of white, he grasped a wrist precisely.
Charlee.
Her eyes were white. Like Bourne and Bedfrith, her thoughts were now under the mysterious man’s control. When his fight with the Death Knight dragged on and yielded no results, the mysterious man was ready to kidnap Auston for leverage.
Because Auston’s true strength was unknown, however, Charlee’s mission was to kidnap Silvia, and her hand was one second away from reaching Silvia.
Auston gripped Charlee’s wrist, using Darkness’s all-encompassing property to devour her mana. From their point of contact, Charlee’s mana continued to be drained by the Darkness like a flood discharge. Once the mana was drained, her thoughts and vitality would be next.
Filomina took a step back in shock. Then she saw Auston draw Twilight Despair and pierce through Charlee’s chest.
Black light surged, enveloping her entire body before flowing back into Twilight Despair. A legendary mage ended up killed in an instant. It was partly because Charlee had lost her reason, but it also showed how much stronger Auston had grown. In the Frozen Land, he had endured tremendous pain and progressed beyond a chosen knight’s initial stage. He would no longer struggle against a legendary mage as he had in his fight with Alan.
